EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense and charismatic presence of Sir Frank Robert Benson (1858-1939), an English actor-manager and founder of a renowned Shakespearean company, in the timeless role of Romeo. The image, taken in 1904, showcases Benson's proficient and passionate portrayal of the tragic young lover from Verona. Benson's theatrical career began in the late 1870s, and he quickly established himself as a versatile and gifted actor. However, it was his dedication to the works of William Shakespeare that truly set him apart. In 1895, he founded the Benson Shakespeare Company, which became a leading force in the revival of Shakespearean theatre in England. The company was known for its meticulous attention to detail, historical accuracy, and commitment to the text. Benson's innovative approach to Shakespearean performance was groundbreaking for the time. He believed that the plays should be performed as close to their original conditions as possible, with authentic costumes, props, and staging. This dedication to authenticity, coupled with his exceptional acting abilities, made Benson a pioneer in the field of Shakespearean theatre. In this photograph, Benson's profile reveals the intensity and focus of his performance as Romeo. His piercing gaze and expressive features convey the depth of emotion required for the role, while his period costume and authentic props further emphasize the historical accuracy of the production. The image serves as a testament to Benson's unwavering commitment to bringing Shakespeare's works to life on the stage, and to his enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in the world of Shakespearean theatre.
